Netflix Pauses Yolanthe Cabau Reality Series,Faces โฌ200-300K in Cancellation costs
Netflixโข has reportedly put onโฃ hold a potential โขsecondโค season ofโ the reality โseries documenting theโฃ life โof Yolanthe Cabau,with sources citing disappointing viewership numbers. The move couldโ cost the โstreaming giant between โฌ200,000 โand โฌ300,000 in โbreakdown costs, according to Dutch TV experts.
Initial reportsโ suggested a second โขseason โwas already โฃinโ production, a decision that surprised industry observers given Netflix’s typical practiceโค of evaluating first-season performance before renewing. “It was actually said thatโ they โคwere even โrunning, which also caused a โคlot of surprise,โ as you would still say:โค Netflix โfirstโค wants to see what the figures of โขthe first season do,” noted Bart โคEttekoven of Shownieuws.
However, the future of the series is now uncertain.โ Presenter Dyantha Brooks observed the absence of Cabau’s camera crew at a โขrecent film premiere, fueling speculation. “Everyone โฃnaturally wonders ifโข there will be โa second season from Yolanthe โคthe series, โbut that is just as unclear,โ isn’t it?” she stated.
When directly asked about her relationshipโ status, โYolanthe Cabau responded,โ “We’re still talking โabout it,” according to RTL Boulevard presenter โฃLuuk Iink.
TV authority Tina Nijkamp confirmed the project has been “putโข on hold,” a rare occurrenceโข for a previously ordered series. “We actually don’t know how exactly it is. Yolanthe is always โขvague about things like that,” Nijkamp said on Tina’s โTV update. Breakdown costs for the paused production are estimated at a maximum โขof โฌ300,000, a sum Netflix has likely factored โขinto itsโค risk โขassessment.
